In that sense the videos that dominated the Trl era, if they were to have an accurate system of counting the views most of them would be over a billion since songs and videos like All The Things She Said were show several times AN HOUr with each showing giving them a minimum of 2 million views.

Very true. TV and radio still have the biggest reach in terms of actual hits. Videos on youtube look big to goofballs because it's a collective total of all views ever right under the video. TV doesn't show that data.
But you can find it. And millions of people every day for months (US alone) tuned into things like TRL, vh1 countdown, MTV videos blocks in the 80s-90s. Internet might get there one day though.
